NOT modify this unit or commission others to do so unless

specifically authorized by Yamaha.

Product performance and/or safety standards may be

diminished. Claims filed under the expressed warranty may

be denied if the unit is/has been modified. Implied

warranties may also be affected.

SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE: The

information contained in this manual is believed to be

correct at the time of printing. However, Yamaha reserves

the right to change or modify any of the specifications

without notice or obligation to update existing units.

The exclamation point within the

equilateral triangle is intended to alert

the user to the present of important

operating and maintenance

(servicing) instructions in the literature

accompanying the product.

The lightning flash with arrowhead

symbol within the equilateral triangle

is intended to alert the user to the

presence of uninsulated "dangerous

voltage" within the product's

enclosure that may be of sufficient

magnitude to constitute a risk of

electrical shock.

• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a

finger or hand in the key cover gap.

• Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of

the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the

power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument

inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch

from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly

result in the instrument overheating.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or

uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If

you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

■ USING THE BENCH

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-

ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.

• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the

possibility of accident or injury.

• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten

them periodically using the included tool.

■ SAVING USER DATA

• Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the loss

of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or

modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,

short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts.

If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and

have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill

into any openings.

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden

loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or

smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power

switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument

inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required

voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the

outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may

have accumulated on it.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the

instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,

and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy

objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over,

or roll anything over it.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always

hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-

connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause

overheating in the outlet.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be

used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off

the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all

components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the

volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the

volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening

level.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme

cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the

day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal

components.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions,

radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect

proper operation of the other products.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally

fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,

solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do

not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might

discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do

not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

GM (General MIDI System Level 1) is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible

music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of maker. The GM mark is

affixed to all software and hardware products that support the General MIDI standard.

XG is a new MIDI format created by Yamaha which significantly improves and expands upon the General MIDI

standard by providing a greater variety of high-quality voices plus considerably enhanced effect operation—while

being fully compatible with GM.

Products bearing the SONDIUS-XG logo are licensed under patents of Stanford University and Yamaha as listed on

the internet web site, <http://www.sondius-xg.com>.

NOTE:

The VA voices of the Lead Voice 2

section are not comprised in the 22

Voice Menu pages.

* The details for each voices such as octave (feet) setting and effect on/off status are shown in the list on page 46.

Additional Changes on Voice Display Pages

Two pages are added to the Voice Display page, a page with useful indications for realtime performance, the

other for master control functions over various parameters; the Voice Display has become configured with total

three pages.

Voice Display, Page 1

This first page is the same as the one in EL-900 excepting that: "U" in negative

letter will be added to the top of the voice name indicating the current voice is a

User voice, if you have selected one of the User voices. If the name of the User

voice has been altered, its latest name will also be displayed.

NOTE:

"U" in negative letter is the prefix for the

AWM+FM User voices, while "C" in

negative letter is the one for the VA

Custom voices.

Voice Display, Page 2

The indications assisting your realtime performance are prepared in this page.

It's convenient for you to display this page when you play the Electone since

you can visually confirm the functions related to realtime performance.

Tempo

Shows the current tempo, which is the same as the one on the Tempo LED in

the Rhythm section. You don't need to look aside and confirm the tempo every

time you want to check the current tempo in the middle of the performance.

Bar/Beat

As the name implies, this works as the bar and beat indicators. The difference

from the existing Bar/Beat Indicator (LED in the Rhythm section) is that this

indication is independent from the Tempo display and you will not miss every

beat even when the tempo change occurs.

Also, you don't need to twist your head to see the current bar/beat.

● Bar/Beat indication when rhythm starts:

● Bar/Beat indication when rhythm is off:

When you currently stop the rhythm, “STOP” is displayed.

● Bar/Beat indication when rhythm is in stand-by mode

(Synchro. Start):

Registration Shift

● Registration Shift, off:

The current position/registration is displayed.

● Registration Shift, in "Shift" mode:

The current registration number (left) and the next number (right) will be

displayed.

● Registration Shift, in "Jump" mode:

The current registration number (left) and the destination number (right) will

be displayed. You can change the destination number even in the middle of

the performance by pressing the appropriate Data Control buttons.

● Registration Shift, in “User” mode:

Indicates the current position of the Registration Shift. You can change the

registration by moving the cursor to right and left. It's handy when you have

wrongly advanced the shift setting in the middle of your performance. You

cannot edit the user registration settings here.

M.D.R. Operation

Start, Stop and Song Select operations on the M.D.R. can be executed here. The

currently selected song number and its name will be displayed.

When you set the Next Song function, you can visually confirm if the next song

has been read, or not.

● M.D.R.: not displayed

Nothing is displayed when no disk is inserted or while one of the following

function is engaged: Recording, Song Delete, Song Copy and Disk Copy.

No Data Control button is operable, in this case.

● M.D.R.: displaying the song name when stopped

The number and name of the currently selected song are displayed.

Also, those of the XG songs are displayed.

● M.D.R.: displaying the song name during playback

Displayed during playback including song repeat function.

Only STOP button is available in this case.

When Next Song function is executed, the song number/name will be

changed.

Voice Display, Page 3

You can adjust to "uniform" a specific parameter used in various voice group at one time.

Take Reverb here, for example, you may sometimes want

to change Reverb depth of the entire system equally

when you rehearse in a concert since each concert hall

has its own environmental characteristics, or resonance.

Although you know you can change the Reverb settings

of the entire system at one time even on the EL-900, the

EL-900m lets you do the same operation with various

parameters.

Furthermore, you can select from the several changing

methods: changing the specific parameter values in a

certain registration to the value in another registration at

one time or offsetting a certain amount of value from a

certain parameter in a registration on the basis of the one

in another registration.

● Let's check each section in the Voice Display.

The cursor (box) is positioned at the currently

selected Registration Memory number.

You can move the cursor to select another registration

by pressing the Data Control buttons corresponding to

the left/right arrows in REGISTRATION SELECT

section.

Notice that you cannot move the cursor by directly

pressing one of the Registration Memory buttons

between the Upper and Lower keyboards.

6 Same Voice

A line under each registration number indicates that

the currently assigned voice to the registration is the

same as the one shown at the top 4.

targeted registrations.

There are several unique methods to select the registration memory numbers:

■ By pressing ON button while holding down COARSE button:

All the registration memory numbers can be selected by pressing the

Data Control buttons corresponding to "ON" with the COARSE button

held.

■ By pressing OFF button while holding down COARSE button:

All the registration memory numbers can be cancelled by pressing the

Data Control buttons corresponding to "OFF" with the COARSE button

held.

■ By holding ON and OFF simultaneously:

Holding down "ON" and "OFF" simultaneously turns on the registration

memory numbers that contains the same voice as the one which is

currently set in the registration at the cursor position.

In this case, the registrations 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15 and 16 are shown in a solid bar

indicating that those contain the User Voice 2, Str.2.

4 SET

Uniforms the currently turned-on parameters' values to the one in the

currently selected registration (at the cursor position).

Pressing [Set] opens the dialog box urging you to confirm the operation.

In this case, the operation uniforms the brilliance values of the Upper keyboard Voice in the

registrations 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15 and 16 to the one in the registration 6 (at the cursor

position).

If you proceed the operation, select [Uniform].

The completed message will momentarily be shown on the LCD.

5 DEC.(Decrement)/INC.(Increment)

Setting Examples

The display shows differently depending on the selected parameter.

Reverb Parameter

Shows the Pedal Voice 1 Reverb parameters.

Imagine, you want to decrease the value equally from the all parameters.

Select all the parameters by pressing "On" while holding down COARSE. Press

"DEC." button to gradually decrease the value.

Sustain Parameter

Shows the Lower Keyboard Voice Sustain parameters.

Try changes similar to the operation mentioned above.

Panning Parameter

Shows the current panning of the Upper Keyboard Voice 2.

The cursor is currently set at the registration 3, User voice 1 is assigned and

panning is set to L2.

You will find the same User voice 1 is assigned to the registrations 1, 2, 4, 6, 7,

8 and 15 but panning is different among those registrations.

To uniform the panning among those registrations, you need first to turn off the

other registrations. Holding "On" and "Off" buttons simultaneously lets you

select the voices containing the same voice. You are ready to uniform the pan

setting.

Lastly, press [Set] button to uniform the panning.

You will find the same pan setting, L2, is adopted to the registrations 1, 2, 4, 6,

7, 8 and 15.

You can offset the panning position using LEFT/RIGHT buttons (DEC./INC.

are changed to LEFT/RIGHT in the case of panning).

4 Pedal Polyphonic Mode

You can change the monophonic pedal voices to be polyphonic.

This makes it possible for you to enjoy various playing styles.

NOTE:

Be aware that you cannot exceed the total

maximum polyphony, 14 notes for both

Upper, Lower and Pedal.

Legato and polyphonic play

on the Pedalboard

You can make the different settings between Pedal Voice 1 and 2.

Pedal voices to the Lower

keyboard

You can use one of the Pedal voices on the Lower keyboard using To Lower

function.

Polyphonic Pedal voice and

A.B.C. function

Set one of the Pedal Voice groups to Polyphonic mode and turn on the A.B.C.

function. You can play the pedal voice independently and A.B.C. function

produces sounds using the other Pedal Voice group.

NOTE:

A.B.C. function is not available with the

Pedal Voice group which Polyphonic

mode is set to on.

5 VA Voice Edit

Editing VA voices becomes possible with EL-900m.

The available parameters are the same as the ones on AWM.

NOTE:

You need to understand the functions of

each parameter to edit the VA voices.

● OL (Output Level)

Determines the level of the VA sound.

Range: 0 - 127

● AR (Attack Rate)

Determines how quickly the Operator will reach its maximum level after the key is played.

Lower values produce a slower attack.

Range: -64 - +63

● DR (Decay Rate)

Determines how much time it takes for the Operator to reach its second level.

Range: -64 - +63

● RR (Release Rate)

Determines how much time it takes for the level to reach 0 after the key is released.

Range: -64 - +63

● LOW

Determines to boost or decrease the output of the lower range of the keyboard.

Range: -64 - +63

● HIGH

Determines to boost or decrease the output of the higher range of the keyboard.

Range: -64 - +63

The basic concept and necessary operations are the same as the ones for AWM

voice editing.

As you can see the algorithm, a VA voice is configured with three factors: VA,

AWM and FM.

However, the output levels of AWM and FM tone generators are set to off, and

VA voices sound using VA tone generator only. (This is true for all VA voices.)

You can edit the VA voices adding AWM and/or FM voice elements. Now listen

to the "hidden" voices by raising the AWM and/or FM output levels.

NOTE:

Some voices may not have distinctive

effect.

NOTE:

The VA voices built in EL-900 are also

configured with VA, AWM and FM.

Let's check VA Shakuhachi voice.

Engage editing the voice.

The OL of FM OP1, carrier, is set to 0.

Moves the cursor to OP5. The OL of FM OP5, carrier, is also set to 0.

Move the cursor to AWM, and its OL is also set to 0. Gradually raise

the OL of the AWM. In this case, turn off the VA tone generator

(positive letters).

The voice, Shamisen, will gradually be heard.

You understand that Shamisen is preset as AWM voice.

Also, check the FM "hidden" voice by raising OL of FM carrier.

Turn off AWM and VA and listen to the FM voice. (VA and AWM

should be displayed in positive letters.)

You will find an attack sound similar to Shamisen voice in the OP1 and

OP5, carriers of FM synthesis.

Turn these FM carriers to off and turn the VA and AWM back to on.

(Be sure to lower the OL of FM OP1 and OP5 to the minimum.)

You can produce an effective voice using two voice factors, VA and

AWM here for example, in a single voice.

NOTE:

Turning each operator on/off: Move the

cursor to select the appropriate operator

using the second Data Control buttons

from the left and temporarily turn off the

operator using the left most Data Control

buttons.

Save the voice to the Custom voice area.

Select SAVE page and save to the VA Custom Voice locations,

different from the normal voices (User Voice).

You can name the voice you created as well as you do for the normal

voices.

The operation and the number of letters for naming are the same as the

one for normal voices.

Name the voice "02 Shaku&Koto" here.

VOICE NAME

Up to 16 letters can be used to name your newly created voice.

Yamaha recommends you to add the Custom (user) voice number to the

voice you created. When displayed on the LCD or when reediting the voice,

you may become unsure which user voice you are editing.

If you name a voice "Trumpet," the Voice Display simply shows it "(c)

Trumpet." It will be difficult for you to know to which user number the

voice is saved.

If you add the appropriate user number to the created voice, you can easily

understand the voice's derivation.

Up to 6 user voice locations, Custom voices, are available for the VA

voices.

All the Custom voice locations are tentatively preset with voices as

factory preset. Those voices will be overwritten and cleared, when you

save your own voices to the locations. If you want to keep a certain

preset voice intact, select another location to save your voice.

NOTE:

Resetting the Custom (VA user) voices

to the factory presets:

Power-On reset operation restores original

voices. If you don't want to restore and

you want to keep some of them with your

voices, you can save the original voices to

a disk in advance and reload the voice(s)

one by one from it to Electone.

Reproducing the edited VA voices on EL-900

The edited VA voices can be reproduced on EL-900.

Although saving the registration again on EL-900 resets the voice parameters to

0, the voice itself is intact.

The voice name will also be reset. Be aware those facts when saving the

registration again.

VOICE DISK

VA voice disk is optionally available.

The operation procedure is the same as the one for normal voices.

Select a VA voice and enter voice editing.

Select VOICE DISK using Page buttons.

PAGE

Insert a VA voice disk.

Select the desired voice by pressing Data Control buttons.

Designate one of the VA Custom voices and save the voice.

6 Registration Shift Next Song +

Registration Shift: Mode Page

Registration Shift: User Edit

A suffix, +, is added.

IMPORTANT

● Use the same user voice number and name for the same voices between

songs.

● If a voice with a specific user number is used in the previous song and

another voice with the same user number is used in the next, always

change one of the two voice names.

If you play the songs with EL-900, the new user voices will not be read.

You need to be aware what type of Electones you are using to make registration

sequences.

Different from EL-900, the user voices can also be read in the Next Song operation with EL-900m

(Next Song +).

You can use the user voices more than 16.

NOTE:

If you set the same user voices the user

voices will not sound again in the

consecutive song.

The sound will be played again in the

transition to the next song, if the voice has

two different names even when the same

voice is used.

NOTE:

The VA voices can also be read as well as

the normal voices, but they may not sound

since they take much time to be read in the

Electone.

Disk Copy 2

The functions are almost the same as the ones on the EL-900. Additional

operation method is added to the Disk Copy function.

● Song Copy in the same disk (the same)

● Song Copy between different disks (the same)

● Disk Copy (new operation method is added)

You can use the following operation procedure in Disk Copy function.

Insert the source disk into the disk slot. Simultaneously hold down the

bottom right Data Control button and LOWER in the Record section in

8 MIDI Out filter

Unnecessary MIDI data can be filtered out when you play the Electone

using an external sequencing software (PC).

The MIDI Out filter function is equipped with the Electone not to response to

unnecessary MIDI data. An additional MIDI Control page is used for this

function.

An external MIDI device that receives the MIDI data should have the filtering

function when the horizontal touch and aftertouch are unnecessary. If the device

doesn't have this function, use the MIDI Out Filter on the Electone.

● The Messages to be filtered:

• Horizontal Touch Message

Even when you don't intend to, Electone's FSV keyboards always send

out the horizontal touch messages. You need to cut the data if you use

the tone generators like MU series, since they receive the messages and

produce the sounds that are applied with pitch bend function.

• After Touch Message

Also, even when you don't intend to, Electone's FSV keyboards always

send out the aftertouch messages. In addition to the normal aftertouch,

VA aftertouch (Control no. 16) is sent out. If you don't need them you

can cut them.

• 2nd Expression Pedal Message

This message is transmitted as the Control no. 4. If you don't need the

control no. 4 you can cut it.

• Rhythm Start/Stop Messages

Electone can transmit the realtime messages FA (start) and FC (stop).

When working with an external sequencer, the sequencer may respond to

those messages. You can avoid it with this message set to off.

NOTE:

MU series:

XG tone generators from Yamaha. EL-900

has built in MU50 type tone generator

exclusive for XG playback.

NOTE:

VA Aftertouch:

Exclusive to VA tone generation system

and can be applied only to Upper

We sincerely believe that our products and the production methods used to produce them, meet these goals. In keeping with both the letter and the spirit of the law, we want you to be aware of the following: BATTERY NOTICE: This product MAY contain a small nonrechargeable battery which (if applicable) is soldered in place. The average life span of this type of battery is approximately five years. When replacement becomes necessary, contact a qualified service representative to perform the replacement. WARNING: Do not attempt to recharge, disassemble, or incinerate this type of battery. Keep all batteries away from children. Dispose of used batteries promptly and as regulated by applicable laws. Note: In some areas, the servicer is required by law to return the defective parts. However, you do have the option of having the servicer dispose of these parts for you. DISPOSAL NOTICE: Should this product become damaged beyond repair, or for some reason its useful life is considered to be at an end, please observe all local, state, and federal regulations that relate to the disposal of products that contain lead, batteries, plastics, etc. NOTICE: Service charges incurred due to lack of knowledge relating to how a function or effect works (when the unit is operating as designed) are not covered by the manufacture's warranty, and are therefore the owner's responsibility. Please study this manual carefully and consult your dealer before requesting service. NAME PLATE LOCATION: The graphic below indicates the location of the name plate. The model number, serial number, power requirements, etc., are located on this plate. You should record the model number, serial number, and the date of purchase in the spaces provided below and retain this manual as a permanent record of your purchase. IMPORTANT NOTICE: All Yamaha electronic products are tested and approved by an independent safety testing laboratory in order that you may be sure that when it is properly installed and used in its normal and customary manner, all foreseeable risks have been eliminated. DO NOT modify this unit or commission others to do so unless specifically authorized by Yamaha. Product performance and/or safety standards may be diminished. Claims filed under the expressed warranty may be denied if the unit is/has been modified. Implied warranties may also be affected. SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE: The information contained in this manual is believed to be correct at the time of printing. However, Yamaha reserves the right to change or modify any of the specifications without notice or obligation to update existing units. 92-469-➀ Model Serial No. Purchase Date PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING * Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference. WARNING Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: • Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. • If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. • Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. CAUTION Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: • Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. • Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in the key cover gap. • When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it. • Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. • Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating. • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. • Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. • Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. • Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. • Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products. • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables. • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. • Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. (1)B-6 ■ USING THE BENCH • Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury. • Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury. • If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool. ■ SAVING USER DATA • Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error. Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed. Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. Congratulations! This manual provides the information related to the newly upgraded features and functions, difference between EL-900 and EL-900m. You can enjoy specially tailored sophisticated voices, convenient and versatile voice display functions, voice editing even with VA voices and more. Included Items Registration Menu Disk 3.5" Floppy Disk Owner’s Manual To Authorized Service Personnel Turning the Electone off erases all panel settings you have made. When the Electone is turned on, Basic Registration 1 is automatically selected. If you have made panel settings you wish to keep, save them to Registration Memory before turning the Electone off. GM (General MIDI System Level 1) is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of maker. The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support the General MIDI standard. XG is a new MIDI format created by Yamaha which significantly improves and expands upon the General MIDI standard by providing a greater variety of high-quality voices plus considerably enhanced effect operation—while being fully compatible with GM.

Voice Display, Page 1 This first page is the same as the one in EL-900 excepting that: "U" in negative letter will be added to the top of the voice name indicating the current voice is a User voice, if you have selected one of the User voices. If the name of the User voice has been altered, its latest name will also be displayed. Voice Display, Page 2 The indications assisting your realtime performance are prepared in this page. It's convenient for you to display this page when you play the Electone since you can visually confirm the functions related to realtime performance. Tempo Shows the current tempo, which is the same as the one on the Tempo LED in the Rhythm section. You don't need to look aside and confirm the tempo every time you want to check the current tempo in the middle of the performance. 26 NOTE: "U" in negative letter is the prefix for the AWM+FM User voices, while "C" in negative letter is the one for the VA Custom voices. Bar/Beat As the name implies, this works as the bar and beat indicators. The difference from the existing Bar/Beat Indicator (LED in the Rhythm section) is that this indication is independent from the Tempo display and you will not miss every beat even when the tempo change occurs. Also, you don't need to twist your head to see the current bar/beat. ● Bar/Beat indication when rhythm starts: ● Bar/Beat indication when rhythm is off: When you currently stop the rhythm, “STOP” is displayed. ● Bar/Beat indication when rhythm is in stand-by mode (Synchro. Start): Registration Shift ● Registration Shift, off: The current position/registration is displayed. ● Registration Shift, in "Shift" mode: The current registration number (left) and the next number (right) will be displayed. ● Registration Shift, in "Jump" mode: The current registration number (left) and the destination number (right) will be displayed. You can change the destination number even in the middle of the performance by pressing the appropriate Data Control buttons. 27 ● Registration Shift, in “User” mode: Indicates the current position of the Registration Shift. You can change the registration by moving the cursor to right and left. It's handy when you have wrongly advanced the shift setting in the middle of your performance. You cannot edit the user registration settings here. M.D.R. Operation Start, Stop and Song Select operations on the M.D.R. can be executed here. The currently selected song number and its name will be displayed. When you set the Next Song function, you can visually confirm if the next song has been read, or not. ● M.D.R.: not displayed Nothing is displayed when no disk is inserted or while one of the following function is engaged: Recording, Song Delete, Song Copy and Disk Copy. No Data Control button is operable, in this case. ● M.D.R.: displaying the song name when stopped The number and name of the currently selected song are displayed. Also, those of the XG songs are displayed. ● M.D.R.: displaying the song name during playback Displayed during playback including song repeat function. Only STOP button is available in this case. When Next Song function is executed, the song number/name will be changed. 28 Voice Display, Page 3 You can adjust to "uniform" a specific parameter used in various voice group at one time. Take Reverb here, for example, you may sometimes want to change Reverb depth of the entire system equally when you rehearse in a concert since each concert hall has its own environmental characteristics, or resonance. Although you know you can change the Reverb settings of the entire system at one time even on the EL-900, the EL-900m lets you do the same operation with various parameters. Furthermore, you can select from the several changing methods: changing the specific parameter values in a certain registration to the value in another registration at one time or offsetting a certain amount of value from a certain parameter in a registration on the basis of the one in another registration. ● Let's check each section in the Voice Display. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 Voice Group Shows the currently selected voice group. 2 Parameter Shows the current parameter. 3 Registration Memory Number Shows the currently selected Registration Memory number. 6 Same Voice A line under each registration number indicates that the currently assigned voice to the registration is the same as the one shown at the top 4. 7 Parameter Value Shows the values of the currently selected parameter 2 to each registration. Each value corresponds to the ones currently assigned to each voice group. 4 Voice Name Shows the voice name currently assigned to the displayed Voice Group. 5 Registration Memory (1 - 16) The cursor (box) is positioned at the currently selected Registration Memory number. You can move the cursor to select another registration by pressing the Data Control buttons corresponding to the left/right arrows in REGISTRATION SELECT section. Notice that you cannot move the cursor by directly pressing one of the Registration Memory buttons between the Upper and Lower keyboards. 29 Basic Operation 1 Select the desired parameter.→P.30 2 Select the appropriate registration that contains the parameter value you want to use it as the master.→P.31 3 Select the targeted registration numbers that contain the parameter value you want to change by turning on/off them.→P.31 4 Uniform the targeted parameter value(s) to that of the registration at the cursor position.→P.32 5 Offset the targeted parameter value(s). →P.33 UNIFORM and REGISTRATION SELECT 1 4 5 2 3 1 PARAM(Parameter) Selects the parameter you want to change its amount. Available parameters are as follows: Each press of the down arrow Data Control button selects the parameters in order. Reverb Length is always selected when the Electone is turned on. ● Parameters Related to Pan settings: Related to Reverb settings: UK1 PAN Reverb Length UK2 PAN Reverb Depth LK1 PAN UK1 Reverb LK2 PAN UK2 Reverb Lead1 PAN LK1 Reverb Lead2 PAN LK2 Reverb PK1 PAN Lead1 Reverb PK2 PAN Lead2 Reverb PK1 Reverb Related to Volume settings: PK2 Reverb UK1 Volume U.Flute Reverb UK2 Volume L.Flute Reverb LK1 Volume Percussion Reverb LK2 Volume Accompaniment Reverb Lead1 Volume Lead2 Volume Related to Sustain settings: PK1 Volume UK Sustain PK2 Volume LK Sustain U.Flute Volume PK Sustain L.Flute Volume Percussion Volume Accompaniment Volume 30 Related to Brilliance settings: UK1 Brilliance UK2 Brilliance LK1 Brilliance LK2 Brilliance Lead1 Brilliance Lead2 Brilliance PK1 Brilliance PK2 Brilliance ● Selecting the desired parameter 1 By pressing PARAM and the appropriate panel button simultaneously: You can directly select the parameter by pressing the panel button of the desired parameter while holding down the appropriate Data Control buttons corresponding to PARAM. 2 By pressing PARAM button: Press the appropriate Data Control buttons corresponding to PARAM and then release it. Parameter selection dialog box appears. Select the desired parameter using the appropriate Data Control buttons (left most) and select [Set] to execute the operation. Parameter Selection Dialog Box NOTE: The parameters you can select using this method are: • Volume • Brilliance • Reverb Depth • Sustain NOTE: Pressing the appropriate Data Control buttons (left most) while holding down COARSE button selects the parameters in the same voice group. 2 Cursor (< >) Selects the registration memory number you want to turn on/off or the number you want to set it as the master. The registration memory number 6 is currently selected in this case. 3 ON/OFF Pressing “Off” after selecting the appropriate registration turns off (grayed out) its parameter. Pressing "On" turns on the parameter (solid bar). All parameters are selected after Power-On Reset operation. NOTE: The registration number encircled by the cursor (positive box) indicates that it acts as the master. Turning the Registration Select "switch" on and off to select the targeted registrations. There are several unique methods to select the registration memory numbers: 31 ■ By pressing ON button while holding down COARSE button: All the registration memory numbers can be selected by pressing the Data Control buttons corresponding to "ON" with the COARSE button held. ■ By pressing OFF button while holding down COARSE button: All the registration memory numbers can be cancelled by pressing the Data Control buttons corresponding to "OFF" with the COARSE button held. ■ By holding ON and OFF simultaneously: Holding down "ON" and "OFF" simultaneously turns on the registration memory numbers that contains the same voice as the one which is currently set in the registration at the cursor position. In this case, the registrations 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15 and 16 are shown in a solid bar indicating that those contain the User Voice 2, Str.2. 4 SET Uniforms the currently turned-on parameters' values to the one in the currently selected registration (at the cursor position). Pressing [Set] opens the dialog box urging you to confirm the operation. In this case, the operation uniforms the brilliance values of the Upper keyboard Voice in the registrations 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15 and 16 to the one in the registration 6 (at the cursor position). If you proceed the operation, select [Uniform]. The completed message will momentarily be shown on the LCD. 32 5 DEC.(Decrement)/INC.(Increment) Offsets the currently turned-on parameters' values. In the following case, you cannot increase the values the registrations 4, 8 and 14 relative to the one in the registration 6 since they are already set to maximum. NOTE: You can decrement value by pressing any of the Data Control buttons just below DEC. NOTE: You can increment value by pressing any of the Data Control buttons just below INC. The following message appears, in this case. Also, you cannot exceed the minimum value when using decrement operation. Alert Dialog Box NOTE: Be aware that you cannot retrieve the original data once the [Confirm] is engaged. In this case, pressing [Confirm] continues the operation ignoring those with maximum value. Pressing [Cancel] aborts the operation. 33 Setting Examples The display shows differently depending on the selected parameter. Reverb Parameter Shows the Pedal Voice 1 Reverb parameters. Imagine, you want to decrease the value equally from the all parameters. Select all the parameters by pressing "On" while holding down COARSE. Press "DEC." button to gradually decrease the value. Sustain Parameter Shows the Lower Keyboard Voice Sustain parameters. Try changes similar to the operation mentioned above. 34 Panning Parameter Shows the current panning of the Upper Keyboard Voice 2. The cursor is currently set at the registration 3, User voice 1 is assigned and panning is set to L2. You will find the same User voice 1 is assigned to the registrations 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 15 but panning is different among those registrations. To uniform the panning among those registrations, you need first to turn off the other registrations. Holding "On" and "Off" buttons simultaneously lets you select the voices containing the same voice. You are ready to uniform the pan setting. Lastly, press [Set] button to uniform the panning. You will find the same pan setting, L2, is adopted to the registrations 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 15. You can offset the panning position using LEFT/RIGHT buttons (DEC./INC. are changed to LEFT/RIGHT in the case of panning). 35 4 Pedal Polyphonic Mode You can change the monophonic pedal voices to be polyphonic. NOTE: Be aware that you cannot exceed the total maximum polyphony, 14 notes for both Upper, Lower and Pedal. This makes it possible for you to enjoy various playing styles. Legato and polyphonic play on the Pedalboard You can make the different settings between Pedal Voice 1 and 2. Pedal voices to the Lower keyboard You can use one of the Pedal voices on the Lower keyboard using To Lower function. Polyphonic Pedal voice and A.B.C. function Set one of the Pedal Voice groups to Polyphonic mode and turn on the A.B.C. function. You can play the pedal voice independently and A.B.C. function produces sounds using the other Pedal Voice group. 36 NOTE: A.B.C. function is not available with the Pedal Voice group which Polyphonic mode is set to on. 5 VA Voice Edit Editing VA voices becomes possible with EL-900m. The available parameters are the same as the ones on AWM. ● OL (Output Level) Determines the level of the VA sound. Range: 0 - 127 NOTE: You need to understand the functions of each parameter to edit the VA voices. ● AR (Attack Rate) Determines how quickly the Operator will reach its maximum level after the key is played. Lower values produce a slower attack. Range: -64 - +63 ● DR (Decay Rate) Determines how much time it takes for the Operator to reach its second level. Range: -64 - +63 ● RR (Release Rate) Determines how much time it takes for the level to reach 0 after the key is released. Range: -64 - +63 ● LOW Determines to boost or decrease the output of the lower range of the keyboard. Range: -64 - +63 ● HIGH Determines to boost or decrease the output of the higher range of the keyboard. Range: -64 - +63 The basic concept and necessary operations are the same as the ones for AWM voice editing. NOTE: Some voices may not have distinctive effect. As you can see the algorithm, a VA voice is configured with three factors: VA, AWM and FM. However, the output levels of AWM and FM tone generators are set to off, and VA voices sound using VA tone generator only. (This is true for all VA voices.) You can edit the VA voices adding AWM and/or FM voice elements. Now listen to the "hidden" voices by raising the AWM and/or FM output levels. NOTE: The VA voices built in EL-900 are also configured with VA, AWM and FM. 37 Let's check VA Shakuhachi voice. 1 Engage editing the voice. The OL of FM OP1, carrier, is set to 0. Moves the cursor to OP5. The OL of FM OP5, carrier, is also set to 0. 2 Move the cursor to AWM, and its OL is also set to 0. Gradually raise the OL of the AWM. In this case, turn off the VA tone generator (positive letters). The voice, Shamisen, will gradually be heard. You understand that Shamisen is preset as AWM voice. Also, check the FM "hidden" voice by raising OL of FM carrier. Turn off AWM and VA and listen to the FM voice. (VA and AWM should be displayed in positive letters.) You will find an attack sound similar to Shamisen voice in the OP1 and OP5, carriers of FM synthesis. Turn these FM carriers to off and turn the VA and AWM back to on. (Be sure to lower the OL of FM OP1 and OP5 to the minimum.) You can produce an effective voice using two voice factors, VA and AWM here for example, in a single voice. 38 NOTE: Turning each operator on/off: Move the cursor to select the appropriate operator using the second Data Control buttons from the left and temporarily turn off the operator using the left most Data Control buttons. 3 Save the voice to the Custom voice area. Select SAVE page and save to the VA Custom Voice locations, different from the normal voices (User Voice). You can name the voice you created as well as you do for the normal voices. The operation and the number of letters for naming are the same as the one for normal voices. Name the voice "02 Shaku&Koto" here. VOICE NAME Up to 16 letters can be used to name your newly created voice. Yamaha recommends you to add the Custom (user) voice number to the voice you created. When displayed on the LCD or when reediting the voice, you may become unsure which user voice you are editing. If you name a voice "Trumpet," the Voice Display simply shows it "(c) Trumpet." It will be difficult for you to know to which user number the voice is saved. If you add the appropriate user number to the created voice, you can easily understand the voice's derivation. Up to 6 user voice locations, Custom voices, are available for the VA voices. All the Custom voice locations are tentatively preset with voices as factory preset. Those voices will be overwritten and cleared, when you save your own voices to the locations. If you want to keep a certain preset voice intact, select another location to save your voice. NOTE: Resetting the Custom (VA user) voices to the factory presets: Power-On reset operation restores original voices. If you don't want to restore and you want to keep some of them with your voices, you can save the original voices to a disk in advance and reload the voice(s) one by one from it to Electone. 39 Reproducing the edited VA voices on EL-900 The edited VA voices can be reproduced on EL-900. Although saving the registration again on EL-900 resets the voice parameters to 0, the voice itself is intact. The voice name will also be reset. Be aware those facts when saving the registration again. VOICE DISK VA voice disk is optionally available. The operation procedure is the same as the one for normal voices. Select a VA voice and enter voice editing. 1 2 40 Select VOICE DISK using Page buttons. PAGE 3 Insert a VA voice disk. 4 5 Select the desired voice by pressing Data Control buttons. Designate one of the VA Custom voices and save the voice. 6 Registration Shift Next Song + Different from EL-900, the user oices v can also be read in the Ne xt Song operation with EL-900m (Next Song +). You can use the user ovices more than 16. Registration Shift: Mode Page Registration Shift: User Edit A suffix, +, is added. IMPORTANT ● Use the same user voice number and name for the same voices between songs. ● If a voice with a specific user number is used in the previous song and another voice with the same user number is used in the next, always change one of the two voice names. If you play the songs with EL-900, the new user voices will not be read. You need to be aware what type of Electones you are using to make registration sequences. NOTE: If you set the same user voices the user voices will not sound again in the consecutive song. The sound will be played again in the transition to the next song, if the voice has two different names even when the same voice is used. NOTE: The VA voices can also be read as well as the normal voices, but they may not sound since they take much time to be read in the Electone. 41 7 Convenient Disk Copy Function Disk Copy 2 The functions are almost the same as the ones on the EL-900. Additional operation method is added to the Disk Copy function. ● Song Copy in the same disk (the same) ● Song Copy between different disks (the same) ● Disk Copy (new operation method is added) You can use the following operation procedure in Disk Copy function. 1 Insert the source disk into the disk slot. Simultaneously hold down the bottom right Data Control button and LOWER in the Record section in M.D.R. RECORD UPPER + LOWER SONG REPEAT PAUSE PLAY PEDAL CONTROL 42 PEDAL STOP PLAY CONTROL SHIFT SONG DEL.

In the middle, 50%, the copying operation is finished. 3 LOWER FROM TO SONG COPY MUSIC DISK RECORDER 2 UPPER Eject the source disk from the disk slot. 4 Insert the destination disk into the disk slot. The bar indication, 100 %, indicates the copy (paste) operation is complete. Error Messages ● Write-protect is off with the source disk in disk copy operation. Answer: Set the disk's Write-protect tab to on. ● Write-protect is on with the destination disk in disk copy operation. Answer: Set the Write-protect tab to off. 43 ● Different disks in the disk copy operation. (Ex: 2HD disk is inserted as the copy destination while 2DD disk data has been read as the source.) (Ex: 2DD disk is inserted as the copy destination while 2HD disk data has been read as the source.) Answer: You have to prepare the same disk type as that of source disk. ● Reading error. ● The destination disk has not been formatted. Answer: Press the Data Control buttons under [Format] to execute formatting operation, first. You can also change disk and insert a formatted disk. ● Others 44 8 MIDI Out filter Unnecessary MIDI data can beiltered f out when you play the Electone using an external sequencing softw are (PC). The MIDI Out filter function is equipped with the Electone not to response to unnecessary MIDI data. An additional MIDI Control page is used for this function. An external MIDI device that receives the MIDI data should have the filtering function when the horizontal touch and aftertouch are unnecessary. If the device doesn't have this function, use the MIDI Out Filter on the Electone. ● The Messages to be filtered: • • • • Horizontal Touch Message Even when you don't intend to, Electone's FSV keyboards always send out the horizontal touch messages. You need to cut the data if you use the tone generators like MU series, since they receive the messages and produce the sounds that are applied with pitch bend function. After Touch Message Also, even when you don't intend to, Electone's FSV keyboards always send out the aftertouch messages. In addition to the normal aftertouch, VA aftertouch (Control no. 16) is sent out. If you don't need them you can cut them. 2nd Expression Pedal Message This message is transmitted as the Control no. 4. If you don't need the control no. 4 you can cut it. Rhythm Start/Stop Messages Electone can transmit the realtime messages FA (start) and FC (stop). When working with an external sequencer, the sequencer may respond to those messages. You can avoid it with this message set to off. NOTE: MU series: XG tone generators from Yamaha. EL-900 has built in MU50 type tone generator exclusive for XG playback. NOTE: VA Aftertouch: Exclusive to VA tone generation system and can be applied only to Upper keyboard. NOTE: The message of the 2nd expression pedal is different from the normal MIDI pitch bend messages. NOTE: This MIDI Out Filter function is effective for the external connected devices and not effective for the M.D.R. recording. 45 9 APPENDIX Details on Each Voice Page/Section Preset Voice Name Feet 46 Comments Effect 1.
